This post from Beskar pretty much proves that my assumption was correct; ship-scanning is a powerful investigative ability wielded by Wolf (and I would guess Fox as well if the Rubicon mechanics hold true), and unlikely to be found in the hands of a bog-standard Cornerian. So why does Pinman have it?
Also, Romanic states that he feels that either option is a good lynch, which would suggest that Pinman was not allied with Falco, so we're looking at a proposed Cornerian with an ability akin to the neutral Wolf's and he's not Fox, Slippy or Peppy. So, who are you, Pinman?
I'm going to take my chances with Beskar over the generic townie claiming a powerful ability, but if there was ever a time to tell the truth, it would be now; Beskar's come out, you might as well do the same, Pinman.
"Blacker than a moonless night. Hotter and more bitter than Hell itself… that is coffee."
There is very little that I can say at this point. The one thing I will will emphasize is that Beskar's story has constantly shifted - while mine has stayed the same.
All I ask is one night to be scanned and prove myself. Beskar seems fundamentally opposed to this - because it will give me credibility, and make his position extremely difficult.
Please don't be deceived by Beskar's changing stories - and scummy behaviour. Lynch Star Wolf - the man who killed Star Fox's father.

Can't let you do that, Mafia!
[P.S, the only change was me = Star Wolf, whereas I didn't admit to it. The rest of it correct. On the other hand, you are lying and still lying now.]

Well played Pinman, you had the advantage since the reveal. Unfortunately claiming not to be Fox or a Fox team member is what ultimately brought you down since the start of that reveal.

Re: Star Fox- Lylat Wars
Unvote: Vote: Pinman
I don't know this story line well, nor played this game before. I don't know the characters like, Wolf, Falco, Peppy, Pigma, Slippy, Fox's father...all I know is that Pinman to me sounds like a caught mafia, with a cover role of a standard Cornerian. One to me, that would not have, an investigation ability.

Oh goody. Now we just need to lynch beskar tomorrow and we'll be dandy.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

No we don't, Palpatine.

You don't want to wear a dunce hat for a 3rd time, do you?
Awww, having second thoughts about death, are we? Oh, right, anyone could have seen how insincere that proclamation was.

Anyway, Star Fox knows who I am, allow him to handle me, no point in a lynch. Star Fox also knows where I stand.

General Pepper: There are rumors of strange activity on Aquas! Perhaps the enemy has a hidden base there.
Fox McCloud: We'll check it out. All wings, report in!
Stage Four: Ocean Planet Aquas
Good luck!
You can watch this video for fun, but it doesn't quite fit into the story.
Instead, click on the music below it to accompany the writeup. Watch this video afterward if you want.
Wolf O'Donnell: Nice of you to show up late to the party. Seems like I've done all the work for you.... that means I should get to claim all the reward.
Fox McCloud: What are you talking about?
Wolf O'Donnell: Open your eyes, fool! Don't look now, but you're about to get pulverized.
Fox McCloud: Huh? What?
Out of what seemed like thin air, homing missiles emerged and headed straight for Fox's ship. A quick vertical loop maneuver and Fox was in the clear.
Wolf O'Donnell: Try staying awake next time, Fox. Leave this to more experienced fighter pilots. You might be good, but I'm better.
Fox and Peppy began to engage the cloaked vessel at close range.
Wolf O'Donnell: What do you think you're doing? I don't need any of your help.
Fox McCloud: That's too bad, because you're about to get it.
Peppy Hare: The scanners can't see anything. Aim for the open spot, where the missiles are emerging. That might be a weakness in the cloaking shield.
Fox McCloud: I'm on it!
Wolf O'Donnell: Hey! I thought of that first! *snarl* How do you think we've been able to keep up with a cloaked ship firing homing torpedoes, you amateurs?
Fox McCloud: Excuse us for trying.
Wolf O'Donnell: Why don't you leave before you get hurt?
Fox McCloud: Why don't you focus on your own ship? Homing missile on your six.
Wolf O'Donnell: What?
Fox McCloud: I'll take care of it.
*ZAP ZAP ZAP ZAP*
Wolf O'Donnell: No way! I don't believe it! ......Why don't you go bother someone else for a while?
Fox McCloud: That's gratitude for you.
Wolf O'Donnell: If you're going to be here, at least shut up and follow my lead. Otherwise, get out of my way.
Fox McCloud: Ha.... whatever you say, Wolf.
Wolf O'Donnell: Now it's time to show you cadets how it's done. All craft, fire on my mark!
The Star Wolf team opened fire on the enemy vessel, hitting it right in the missile launcher, causing it to explode. The cloaking shields dropped, revealing a massive warship with enough firepower to destroy every major city on Corneria, and enough fighter craft to take on the entire Cornerian Army.
Wolf O'Donnell's Wolfen fighter fired plasma at the back of the attack carrier, damaging it's shield generator. He then dropped low to the surface and executed a perfect barrel roll underneath the craft, then a vertical loop around the back of Fox's Arwing, blasting all the missiles to smithereens. Then, he performed a corkscrew maneuver and ended up directly in front of fox, aimed at the attack carrier's hangar compartment. The fighter craft inside, and all of their engine reactors, missiles, and other dangerous materials, exploded in violent succession.
Wolf O'Donnell: Get out of my way, Star Fox.
Fox McCloud: I guess I'll take out the other missile launcher.
Fox performed a corkscrew maneuver and ended up side-by-side with Wolf, and fired his blue hyper lasers at the enemy craft. The missile launcher promptly broke off from the craft, leaving only the core of the giant ship intact.
Pinman: You are starting to annoy me! I'll crush you!
Wolf O'Donnell: Is that all you do, is talk?
Pinman: Fire all weapons! Destroy those cocky little punks!
Wolf O'Donnell: What did you just call me?
The attack carrier began firing a steady stream of flaming projectiles at the fighter craft, and began flying around at high speed attempting to crash into them.
Peppy Hare: Watch out, Fox!
Wolf O'Donnell: Evasive maneuvers. Star Wolf team, it is time to leave. Get out of here. I'll handle the rest.
Fox McCloud: I'll cover you....
Wolf O'Donnell: Nice try, fox, but this one is mine. Now give me some space, and I'll school you on how to fly.
Fox McCloud: Okay big guy, suit yourself.... All craft, break away....
Fox, Peppy, and the Great Fox break formation and enter the upper atmosphere, then watch what happens at a safe distance.
Wolf O'Donnell: Now that the extras have left the stage, it's time for the dramatic fight between the only pilot that really knows how to fly, and some overgrown amphibian who's way out of his league.
Pinman: You? You furry little worm.... I'll destroy you in ways you can't even begin to-
Wolf O'Donnell: SHUT UP!!!
Wolf destroyed the remaining weapons systems on the Attack Carrier. Then, he blasted a massive hole in the bridge of the starship.
Wolf O'Donnell: I want to look you in the eye before I finish you...
Pinman: Who... are you???
Wolf O'Donnell:I..... AM..... STAR WOLF!!!!!
Pinman: You'll never defeat Andross!!!!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Enemies destroyed: 1

Au contraire, I was and still am in favor of your proposal. If two people raise their yappers and claim dirt on each other, you kindly nuke them both off the face of space. And there is, in fact, reason to lynch you. You are neutral. Thus, you are not pro-town. Until more dirt is worked up on someone else, this leaves you as the best suspect.
But its nice that you think you know me.
Oh, and btw, its awfully irritating for you to whine about being lynched for your role name when you keep calling me palpatine. Keep it up.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

It was the irony of the situation.
"Beskar has a scummy name, he must be the sith." - from Palpatine.
Also, it is pretty obvious from the write-up that Fox and Wolf are working together to defeat the mafia.

In otherwords, you clearly knew that the name meant nothing, except you kept pushing for my lynch based on that reason alone.
You don't pay attention, do you.

Where you miss the write-ups and posts which clearly say Town and Neutral (Cornerian and Vemons) are working together against the Big Bad and need eachother? Where in the Write-ups especially this last one, Wolf and Fox were clearly against the same enemy?
I am the one paying attention and look at what me paying attention has done, netted us a mafia.
I leave it at that.

Pizza has stated the writeups do not contain clues. I take him at his word. I repeat: You claimed neutral. Which is not town. With no other clear choices, you are the best. Further, there's some questions I'll raise in the morning about your reveal that don't quite make sense, atm. Gonna get some sleep first.
Sorry for not having the intimate knowledge of game structure that having "the best investigative" ability in the game imbues, as you put it. But honestly, I've been a bit more attentive to my officer role in Subo's game, and plus, this whole setup goes a bit over my head. Never played a Star Fox game. Plus, I am and probably will remain one of the world's worst vanilla townspeople.
